Flying a ship is very much like... etc.
Well that's the docking completed, I'm just going to get back to my eggs.

I have found him before, but feel free to add them and any you find to my thread of amusing names :)
 
Well, drat. My favourite money-making shuttle run still has one system in "infrasctructure failure". Useless dregs. I'm gonna boil 'em up. The kids will go hungry tonight.

"There goes our salvage, guys".

PS. They need to sort out the ADC - it just rammed me into the station side three times. Time to switch back to manual :D

I have a Cutter but am struggling to find a use.

Which is now making me think about all the ships I have but have never used. Pondering on flogging them now although that will hurt the "bucket list" of owning one of each ship.
Instead of owning every ship, why not have on the bucket list to try every ship instead? Sound both more useful and fun than buying ships that you don't even leave the pad with a single time.
 
Made a small profit trading some palladium and gold. Then I stacked some fetch missions, where I was promptly interdicted upon my return to the station that gave me the mission. The first interdiction turned tail and ran after I lit him up pretty bad. After returning to supercruise I was interdicted again by the same guy who ran away the first time (they never learn), and of course he magically has full hull and shields (after I had him down to 40% hull on the previous engagement). Of course his FAS stood no chance against my fully engineered Corvette. He was obliterated in seconds, and I picked up some nice G4 mats. Upon entering supercruise again, his wing mate interdicted me, and he met the same fate as his partner. Then as I approached the station a random pirate in an Anaconda was on my tail, but he never interdicted me before I reached the station. I dropped out of supercruise and then put my ship outside of the no fire zone in anticipation of this moron coming after me, and sure enough he did. I stripped his shields in second, and unleashed the fury on him where upon his hull popped in less than 30 second. I don't think he knew what hit him. The cops showed up about 5 seconds before he blew up. Got some more G4 and G4 mats out of the deal, and made a nice profit collection the bonds on top of what the mission paid out.
I'm at 100% on my current imperial navy rank, but the rank missions they keep offering are going to outposts where my Corvette cannot land. I want a mission that I can use the awesome ship and all of its amazing capabilities on. (I also need to work on engineering a medium ship so I can use it for mission running).

Didja know that every time you close and open the mission board, the rank missions update? Just sit there opening and closing it until you get one you like.

Which part of "infrastructure failure" was it that you didn't understand? ;)

No, I don't think that's a matter of cause and effect, the ADC is sufficently bad to manage that on its own - but it would be a nice idea.

Ahh, the truth is revealed! Only NPCs say that stuff, so...Tyres is an NPC!!
Aren't Frontier doing well. Procedurally generated forum members. But if Tyres is... How do I know Codger isn't also... am i the only real boy here?
My kids are going to go hungry tonight.
An ally like you is always welcome here. Docking request granted.

How do you fools make a living?
 
Slightly odd interdiction there...

Ran for the escape vector, but before I could complete it - or, indeed, before the nasty bully could pull me from SC - the encounter just stopped and I carried on in SC and completed my journey. Didn't know interdictions could be broken off...

sometimes a double interdiction does this. check the chatter log for how many npc's were about to interdict you.
